You brought back a memory I would rather forget.....my days of studying French Philosophers for my exams and attempting to answers the questions in French!!! It's a long time since I have been able to get into the lotus position....but I do try to empty my mind every night before I sleep. It wouldn't be total meditation but it helps a lot. ~~Anais Nin~~

Bonjour Kzoopair Je suis un béotien en yoga , peut-être d'une culture trop cartésienne , mais dans ma jeunesse je m'asseyais les jambes croisés sur la plage à regarder la mer . ♥ Bisou ♥ Poton ♥ Annie ♥ Hello Kzoopair I am a boeotian in yoga, maybe excessive Cartesian culture, but in my youth I sat the cross legged on the beach watching the sea. ♥ Kiss ♥ Annie ♥ Je ne pratique pas le yoga plus non plus. En fait, j'ai seulement commencé le yoga en raison de ma méditation. Après hatha de moment un yoga est devenu mon foyer primaire. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Thank you for writing these excellent descriptions, Kzoo. Surely these are the writings of a master of mindfulness. Have you ever had your brain waves scanned before, during, or after meditation? I've never had a brain scan, but I have read about them. I'm very interested in what meditative states will tell us about human consciousness. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Your vivid description made me envy you. I never achieved satori.... but still enjoy great benefits of meditation. It helps to clear my mind, and although I don't feel empty or overly peaceful, I'm able to focus on important things and forget the rest. Great post, my friend!

Very cool description. I've tried a few times, but have never been able to make the practice stick. Probably time to try again... Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I tried meditation when I was younger, and then about 8 years ago, then to try to manage some anxieties which were threatening to consume. Unfortunately it never worked for me, perhaps because I don't have the patience for it. Not that I'm impatient by nature, I just couldn't settle, and probably allowed skepticism to intrude. I really admire people who have the discipline to meditate, I'm kinda envious of the skill. Excellent post McPairs!! Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Great description! I've been working on meditating and mindfulness, both, these last few months. They've really helped me overcome some issues, but I've just begun and can't manage more than a few minutes of meditating without breaking out into giggles. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

The closest I came to this was the night before my lung surgery. What ever I achieved kept me from being afraid. Thank you for an exceptional post Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

It's worth every bit of effort that you put into the practice. When it finally happened for me, I could scarcely believe it, and a part of me even doubted it, but there was no denying what had taken place. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

It's a long time since I have been able to get into the lotus position....but I do try to empty my mind every night before I sleep. It wouldn't be total meditation but it helps a lot. I do the same thing, emptying my head from time to time without the ritual of meditation. It's a natural response now, and done almost thoughtlessly. I think the ritual and the purposefulness is important too, though. It's good to set aside a time for just that. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Yes! Mindfulness. I'm fascinated by Julian Jaynes' theories of consciousness and awareness. Now science has turned its attention to meditation and meditative states in an effort to understand it. Science is unable to even define it or agree on where consciousness resides, but it has been understood through meditation for centuries. I love this shit too. It's also great fun, and endlessly engaging. But my wife is the real expert. I'm a rank beginner. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Your post is superb; you are a brilliant writer. Of all religions, Buddhism is the most appealing not least because it's the least arrogant. I've spent decades seeking enlightenment but, having failed, I settle for orgasms now!

Whenever I try to meditate I think about sex. So much for relaxing but at least one part of me is standing up straight. LOL! Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I've spent decades seeking enlightenment but, having failed, I settle for orgasms now! I agree with you about Buddhism. I came to it in a similar way to most of us in the west, searching as an adult. I didn't grow up with it. For me, Buddhism offers practical advice on how to live. It teaches a way to deal with the suffering in life that comes from unrealized expectations, something that happens to every one of us. And it does not belittle orgasms. Orgasm is simply an alternative method. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I wouldn't discount the spacier experiences. I've had a few and those can be pretty entertaining! I've had a couple of scary sessions too. They weren't enlightening but they were instructive. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Thank you, Pandora. I've done walking meditations too. And like you, I find comfort in certain activities. But this very traditional method paid off for me in the most rewarding way. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Interesting; so many ways to meditate and so many different results. I have never had your experience, but am happy with the peace and perspective I get. People think you have to be perfectly still to meditate, but it is only your mind that needs to be still. "Still" might not be the right word, "aware" might be more accurate (but, so many philosophies on this). I might take just a few seconds to meditate several times a day. In Universal terms, hours and minutes are not so different (I keep trying to explain that when I have sex; funny... women don't seem to think in Universal terms).
